Rama – An avatar of Vishnu; one of the most widely worshipped Hindu deities, the embodiment of chivalry and virtue

(Pronounced raa-mah)

Note: Rama is represented as a standing figure with an arrow in his right hand and a bow in his left. He is usually attended by figures of his wife, Sita, his favourite brother, Lakshmana, and Hanuman.

To remember the meaning of the Hindu term Rama, use the following mnemonic:

There was a drama (Rama) when a god stood in for a fish I knew (Vishnu) showed off his chivalry and virtue by shooting down the enemy with his bow and arrow.
